What is CWE-1: CWE CATEGORY: DEPRECATED: Location?+
CWE-1: CWE CATEGORY: DEPRECATED: Location is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. This category has been deprecated. It was originally used for organizing the Development View ( CWE-699 ), but it introduced unnecessary complexity and depth to the resulting tree.
What is the difference between a CWE and a CVE?+
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1 describes a category of software weakness — the underlying flaw type. A CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifies a specific, real-world vulnerability in a particular product. In short, a CWE is the kind of mistake, and a CVE is an instance of that mistake being found in software.
